YEs, and teh cameras somehow still are horrible on them, compared to normal digital cameras.
I see people posting how they want 1 even 2 megapixel camera phones. I have news for you. As long as the lens on the phones is that small, the pictures will always look like ass.
I'd rather carry around a small dedicated camera than use the horrible cameras on the cellphones. THey seem to be more fluff than anything else.. imo.

Current camera phones are about .33 megapixel. (352x244 resolution on the 8100 for example).

Samsung is releasing a new phone this summer with a full 2 megapixel resolution.
